Shrub or small tree.
The leaves are ovate-elliptic, normally twice as long as wide, with distinctly undulate margins. The upper surface is harshly hairy, the undersurface covered in dense woolly hairs, obscuring the net-veining.
The flowerheads are star-shaped, forming large terminal clusters, mauve when young but soon turning white, appearing in winter. The body of the achene is covered in papillae but lacks hairs (apart from the pappus).
